What might result if individuals failed to fulfill their duties as citizens?
If it's a country that claims to be a democracy, that democracy would fail. A democracy depends on citizen involvement-- especially voting, but also running for office or supporting candidates and causes. It also depends on a free press and the oversight of journalists, to keep the government honest. If no citizens participate, if there are no impartial and involved journalists, that could enable the emergence of a dictatorship of some kind.
Why is direct democracy not used anymore?
Democraticcountry's are the result of wealth slowly making its way to the general public. This and the economic system that came as the result of the industrial revolution led to a system of education and knowledge where first the nobility and then the religious institutions were striped of their power. Most of the country's in the world that are not democracy's don't even understand what the term entails, they are ruled by corrupt religious and military centers of self interest that depend on the metaphysical reasoning of religion and or the reasoning of simple brute force. It will still take some time before these tenets become a thing of the past. The short answer is, They were not lucky enough to have gone through the industrial revolution without the hind sight of history.
What is the difference between parliamentary and presidential democracy, and how do these systems impact the functioning of government and representation of the people?
In a parliamentary democracy, the executive branch is led by a prime minister who is chosen from the legislative branch. The government is accountable to the parliament and can be removed through a vote of no confidence. In a presidential democracy, the executive branch is separate from the legislative branch, with the president serving as both the head of state and government. The president is elected separately from the legislature and serves a fixed term. The impact of these systems on government functioning and representation of the people is significant. In a parliamentary system, decisions are made collectively by the ruling party or coalition, leading to more consensus-based decision-making. This can result in quicker policy implementation but may also lead to less accountability as the ruling party has more control. In contrast, a presidential system allows for a more direct link between the president and the people, but can also lead to gridlock if there is divided government. Overall, parliamentary democracies tend to have more stable governments but may struggle with representation of minority voices, while presidential democracies can provide more direct representation but may face challenges in governance efficiency.

What problems may result a direct democracy?

What problems might result from a direct democracy?
The more people you have in a direct democracy, the harder it becomes to get them all in the same room at the same time to find out how they all vote. For large groups, you then get into polling and mail-in ballots, which is very time-consuming and hard to organize, as well as creating opportunities for fraud. And it is harder to involve everybody and keep them informed. You can broadcast a debate on television, but there is no guarantee that everybody who will be voting is watching your debate. It is also true that large groups of people seem inevitably to include large numbers of fools, who are going to vote in an unwise manner. While this is also a problem of representative democracy, it seems to be an even greater problem with direct democracy. The majority may rule, but there is no guarantee that they will do so with any wisdom.

What is is a representative democracy?
Nearly all democracies are of this kind. The adult citizens elect resprentatives: they don't govern themselves directly. Only very small communities can govern themselves directly ("direct democracy") but even then it is often difficult. Three of the least populous Swiss cantons have something close to direct democracy. In Canton Glarus, for example, the laws made by representatives are initially only provisional. Once a year all the adult citizens meet in the capital and vote to confirm or reject the previous year's provisional laws. I wonder if that would work in any state of the U.S.? A referendum, if the result is binding, would also be a form od direct democracy.
